    Are you gearing up for your Thanksgiving feast? I’ve been planning my menu for months. While I don’t necessarily like what the holiday stands for, I do love the tradition of sitting around a table and sharing a delicious meal with my family. Over the years, I’ve slowly gotten my parents and other relatives to add more veggies to their plate. Our cookbook, Frugal Vegan, has definitely helped. I get warm and fuzzy feelings when someone texts me a photo of my recipe they made for dinner!

    Description

    This soup is perfection in the fall—from color to flavor, it exudes warmth. The basic preparation is so simple, but it dresses up beautifully with a few fresh herbs or homemade croutons.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 tsp (5 g) curry powder
    • 1 tsp kosher salt
    • 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 ½ lb (680 g) medium carrots, trimmed, peeled, sliced lengthwise, and cut into 1-inch (25-mm) pieces
    • 2 medium yellow onions, quartered and sliced in 1-inch (25-mm) chunks
    • 1 (15-oz [425-g]) can full-fat coconut milk
    • 2 cups (470 ml) water or broth
    • Half a lemon, juiced
    • Fresh cilantro, for serving, optional

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
    2. Mix the curry powder, salt and olive oil together in the bottom of a large bowl. Add the carrots and onions to the bowl. Toss to coat, and then pour it all out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    3. Bake until the vegetables are very tender and just beginning to caramelize, about 30 to 40 minutes.
    4. Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a large pot. Add coconut milk and water (or broth). Let simmer for just a few minutes. Then, working in batches, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
    5. Return the soup to the pot, warm and add lemon juice and fresh cilantro before serving.

    Description

    This bowl tastes and feels like a warm hug. It has all the makings of a perfect fall meal, right down to the root vegetables drizzled in maple syrup and cinnamon, roasted to tender perfection.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup (185 g) farro, uncooked
    • 2 tbsp (30 ml) balsamic vinegar
    • 1 tbsp (15 ml) coconut oil
    • 2 tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • 2 cups (280 g) butternut squash, cut into 1-inch (25-mm) cubes
    • 2 cups (256 g) carrot, cut into 1-inch (25-mm) cubes
    • 1 cup (152 g) onion, cut into 1-inch (25-mm) chunks
    • 6 cups (402 g) kale, torn
    • 1 cup (180 g) apple, diced
    • Toasted pumpkin seeds, for serving, optional

    Instructions

    1. Cook the farro according to package directions. Drain any excess water and transfer the farro to a large mixing bowl. Add balsamic vinegar and mix to combine. Set aside to cool.
    2. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Transfer the squash, carrot and onion to a baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Drizzle the coconut oil mixture over the veggies and toss to completely coat each piece. Bake for 20 minutes, giving the veggies a good stir and a flip halfway through. When the veggies are fork tender, remove them from the oven and set aside.
    3. Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Rinse the kale in a colander and drain, but do not dry. Add the kale to the hot pan and cook for a minute or two, until the kale has wilted and the water has evaporated. Remove from heat. Divide the farro between 4 bowls. Top with kale and roasted veggies. Stir in diced apple and top with toasted pumpkin seeds, if desired. Serve warm.
